El Jefe's Taqueria - Boston Common

Thank you for the free chips for putting a review. It is for sure the cheapest Mexican food in Back Bay area. The fish tacos are nothing special, the fish itself is tasteless and deep fried. It’s great that people can build their own tacos, burritos and bowls. The place is very busy all the time.

I argued with my partner about coming here because it was 1:30am and we had already eaten so much food during the day. I’m glad I was wrong because the tacos were worth it. They don’t charge extra for toppings and don’t skimp on it either. Had tacos loaded with veggies and sauces, so good that I visited twice on my trip. Horchata is good too though a tad bit too sweet for me.

I come here pretty much every day to get my three taco set fix whenever I have a study break at Suffolk University. Just looking at the photos I took of my tacos is enough to spark cravings here.

Ordered the combo meal. Food was great with unlimited toppings! Staff was friendly and portions were a plus for the price! What doesnt come with the combo meal pictured here was the additional bowl and the flan.

The service here is pretty fast. I had the veg bowl—decent portions and good flavor. It was just a quick 7-minute walk from where I was staying. The space is small, but I actually liked the cozy ambiance—perfect for a casual stop and a quick meal. I'm in Boston for a short office visit, and while exploring the downtown area, I stumbled upon this spot
